way, there was no longer a way to get out—"Well,<br />

will you carry me out? If you don't carry me I'll bite<br />

your ear," he said. He bit his ear, but he was already<br />

holding his ear. But it hurt [the Earth <strong>Lo</strong>rd].<br />

"Ow, don't bite my ear! I'll take you out, then,"<br />

said [the Earth <strong>Lo</strong>rd]. [The boy] was carried out.<br />

Halfway up the pit, he was about to be tossed<br />

down again. He bit [the Earth <strong>Lo</strong>rd's] ear again. "I<br />

guess I'll bite the black gentleman's ear," he said. He<br />

bit his ear again.<br />

"Ow, don't bite my ear!" said [the Earth <strong>Lo</strong>rd].<br />

But his ear was being held [in the bear child's hand].<br />

It probably hurt him still, it seems, as we say. [The<br />

bear child] was taken out.<br />

He reached another town. He had taken along the<br />

ear of that black gentleman, as we say.<br />

He found two rocks, but they were beau—tiful<br />

rocks. Bu—t he met a girl there. "Well, I guess I'll<br />

bite the black gentleman's ear. We'll see if he brings<br />

me some money for marrying this girl," he said. He<br />

bit that black gentleman's ear. But who knows where<br />

he was, it seems. Who knows where that owner [of<br />

the ear] was.<br />

"Ow, don't bite my ear!" said [the Earth <strong>Lo</strong>rd]<br />

again, but he was far away.<br />

"Okay, if you give me some money. This much,<br />

like this," he said.<br />

"Well, take it!" said [the Earth <strong>Lo</strong>rd]. "Just don't<br />

bite my ear for me!" he said. [The bear child] was<br />

given the money. And he placed that rock there. He<br />

placed one by his head to sleep on. That rock.<br />

That girl came along. "What's that?" she asked.<br />

"Ah, this is my charm," said that awful bear child.<br />

"This is a charm, of course!" he said.<br />

"Do you want to give it to me?" she said.<br />

"Ahh, I'll give it to you, but [only] if we get<br />

married," he said.<br />

"Eh, I don't know about that," she said.<br />

"Well, it will be yours, if we get married," he said.<br />

She thought it over. "Well, shall I come sleep [with<br />

you], then?" he said.<br />

"Come on, come on, sleep! Come on, sleep, then!"<br />

said that woman. She had probably made her decision.<br />

"Well, can I put my arm over [you]?" he said. He<br />

embraced her.<br />

"Yes, you can!" she said.<br />

"Can I touch you a little bit lower?" he said.<br />

"You can!" she said. He touched her a little bit<br />

lower.<br />

"Can I climb on slowly?" he said.<br />

"You can!" she said.<br />

"Can I poke it in slowly, I guess?" he said, too.<br />
